Here's one I have been working on for a while:
I have got a couple of text-links that I want to use to submit a form. The
deal: it has to be accessible (has to work with JavaScript disabled).
The closest I have come to a solution is to style input buttons with css so
they look similar to text
Styling form elements is a frustrating and, often, futile effort.
Roger Johansson has a nice article with explanations [1]
I think sticking to the submit buttons is the best way to go.

I'm going to chime in with why do you want to do this? too, I'm afraid.
Users don't expect a text link to submit a form, so doing this makes
your form less usable, more confusing, IMHO.

Making all the Page Numbers form buttons doesn't really look good, if you

Even if you assign a specific class to those submit buttons?

This isn't really the accessible solution you're looking for, but if
you want to avoid submitting a form but retain information between
pages, you could try to set a cookie.
